Harvey Pekar's gone. I wish I could say I've known him for so long and have all his comics, but honestly it wasn't until Paul Giamatti portrayed him in American Splendor that I started to go back and read up a bit on his work. There's a bit of Harvey in all of us, some more than others, some up and about more frequently than most. I hope that in his last moments he had a little bit of satisfaction in the fact that not all has been as bad or miserable. So long, Harvey. Thanks, man.
